Coal Ashes for Roads.

Coal ashes may be used with advan-
tage in making roads and paths. A
good covering of ashes, over which a
little soil is thrown, will soon form a
hard, solid road. A better plan still is
to excavatc the bed of the walk or road
few inches below the general sur
face; pour on a coating of coal tar and
cover it thickly with coal ashes. When
this is dry, repeat it with another coat
of tar and ashes, and continue the
process until there are four coats OF
each. This will in a short time be.
come as hard rs stone. ~ y. Erdns.
